The Taxes module brings the company's taxes together in one place: what's due, what's already been paid and what's still open. Instead of discovering an overdue payment by surprise, you track everything by month and by year, with the amounts added up automatically.
Before you start: the tax types
Each tax the company pays — sales tax, income tax, and so on — is first registered as a tax type, under Company settings → Taxes. You define the types, according to the regime and the reality of the business. When creating a type, you provide:
Name: how the tax is known.
Income statement classification: whether it's a revenue deduction (sales taxes) or an income tax (on profit). This is what makes the tax land on the right line of the income statement.
Calculation base and rate (%): the base the tax applies to and the percentage applied. When the base is presumed revenue, you also provide the presumption percentage.
Level: federal, state, municipal or other.
Additional rate and threshold amount (optional): for taxes that have an extra percentage above a certain amount.
Types can be activated/deactivated, edited or deleted. Without at least one type registered, the tax form warns you and takes you straight to that setup.
Why this matters: the income statement classification connects taxes to the company's result. A type marked as “income tax” shows up in the income statement reducing profit; one marked as “revenue deduction” reduces gross revenue. Registering it right here keeps the income statement right there.
Recording a tax
On the Taxes screen, click New tax and provide:
Tax type (required): chosen among the types you registered — the rate appears next to the name.
Amount (required): the payment amount.
Due date: the payment deadline.
Payment date: if already paid, record it here.
Period (month): the accrual the tax refers to.
Document number and Notes: optional, to identify the payment.
Tracking by month and by year
The screen has two tabs: Month and Year. At the top, summary cards show the total, the paid and the pending for the period, plus a total per tax type. On the Year tab, you also see charts with the evolution across the months.
The table lists each tax with name and period, type, amount, due date and status (paid or pending). Use the search and the period filter to quickly find what you're looking for.
Recording the payment
When a tax is pending, use the pay action. It opens a modal with the payment summary, where you provide the payment date, the payment method (bank transfer, PIX, boleto, card, check or cash) and, optionally, the account the amount comes out of. Once confirmed, the tax becomes paid.
If you recorded a payment by mistake, the reverse payment action returns the tax to pending. Already-paid taxes can't be deleted — first reverse, then delete, if needed.
Who can manage
Registering, recording, paying and deleting taxes depends on the tax management permission. Users without it can follow along but not change.
Tip
Register the tax types once, with the right income statement classification, and record the payments as soon as you receive them, with the due date. That way the pending summary becomes your tax calendar — and the income statement reflects the real burden on the result.
